Nasal Tip Rhinoplasty

Focus on the Lower Third of the Nose in Albany, NY

When it comes to making the nose appear more proportional when compared to the rest of the face, many patients seek out nasal tip rhinoplasty. Albany, NY, board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Edwin Williams works with women and men who feel that their nose doesn't fit with the rest of their features, and in some cases, adjusting the tip is a big part of bringing it more into balance.

As the tip of the nose is made up of cartilage and skin, nasal tip rhinoplasty should be performed by a surgeon with dedicated nose surgery experience. It is important when removing cartilage to not take too much away, whether the surgeon is reducing the size of an overly large tip or is harvesting tissue for use in rebuilding the structure to avoid a pinched look. Dr. Williams has years of experience specifically in nasal surgery.

Nasal Tip Rhinoplasty Options

Crooked Tip

A crooked tip and nasal base can give the entire nose a look of misalignment, which can make the overall face appear asymmetrical. Correcting this crookedness at the tip can make the entire nose appear straighter, as well as potentially help with breathing problems due to obstructed airways.

Refined Tip

If a nasal tip is disproportionately wide or otherwise bulbous, Dr. Williams can perform nose tip reshaping to refine the tip, making it more narrow and defined. Great care must be taken to not remove too much cartilage, so choosing a plastic surgeon with significant experience in nasal tip rhinoplasty is crucial.

Pinched Tip

The opposite of a bulbous nose, a pinched tip is when the lowest third appears overly narrow, making the entire nose appear to come to a point, almost like a pencil. This may be congenital, due to trauma, or the result of prior surgery removing an excess of cartilage and causing the tip to "collapse." No matter the case, Dr. Williams can perform nasal tip rhinoplasty rebuild a new, proportional tip from harvested cartilage.

Drooping Nose

Though many factors may contribute to the look of a drooping nose, a common feature is a downturned tip that hangs over the upper lip. This can be adjusted with nasal tip rhinoplasty so that the tip has more support and projection. Adjustments higher on the nose can also help.

Procedures Beyond Nasal Tip Rhinoplasty

Of course, there is much more to nose surgery than work on the nasal tip. Rhinoplasty covers a range of procedures, including options to address a nasal hump, large nose, saddle nose, or crooked nose independent of the tip.

Dr. Williams offers modern imaging solutions so patients can see how a change to the tip, bridge, or other structure of the nose can impact the feature's overall look, as well as how it balances with the rest of the face. These images are customized to the patient and are a valuable tool for getting an idea of the changes possible with nasal tip rhinoplasty and other options.

I went to see Dr. Williams for my Deviated Septum and a Cosmetic Rhinoplasty. Since I was 12 years old I didn't like the way my nose looked. I also had a Deviated Septum that needed repair. Dr. Williams was
able to do both procedures at one time. Since I had my nose done I absolutely love it. I don't mind taking photos anymore and I have become more confident in myself. The surgery itself was amazing, I had zero bruising and was able to go back to work after several days of the surgery.
I would recommend Dr. Williams to anyone considering a Rhinoplasty.

I saw Dr. Williams in November of 2015 for a rhinoplasty. He came highly recommended by my wife. I had been self-conscience about my nose for years. Now, I really like the way my nose looks, it is so natural.
No one could ever tell I had work done. There was no pain, but I did have some discomfort. Dr. Williams and his staff were great during this time. I will recommend Dr. Williams for his professionalism, as my whole process was excellent.

I had a rhinoplasty in 2014 with Dr. Williams. I was hesitant to schedule the consultation because I thought I was being frivolous with my concerns. But, I was pleasantly surprised with all of the options he brought forth after taking and reviewing some pictures of my nose.
I could not have been happier with the results. The modifications made to my nose were so subtle but all together has changed my life.
I do not even think about my nose when I take a picture or look in the mirror; I actually find myself admiring it now!
